Answer:

(a) The magnitude of the lift force is 52144.71 N, approximately.

(b) The magnitude of the air resistance force opposing the movement is 17834.54 N, approximately.

Explanation:

Since the helicopter is moving horizontally at a constant velocity, we can assume that the net force acting on it is zero, then

(a) in the vertical direction we have

L\cos(20\deg)-W=0\\L=\frac{W}{\cos(20\deg)}=\frac{49000 N}{\cos(20\deg)}\approx \mathbf{52144.71 N}.

(b) Now horizontally,

L\sin(20\deg)-R=0\\R=L\sin(20\deg)=52144.71 N\times \sin(20\deg) \approx \mathbf{17834.54 N}.

A girl swings on a playground swing in such a way that at her highest point she is 4.1 m from the ground, while at her lowest po
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

V1 =8.1 m/s

Explanation:

height at highest point (h2) = 4.1 m

height at lowest point (h1) = 0.8 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

from conservation of energy, the total energy at the lowest point will be the same as the total energy at the highest point. therefore

mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2 + 0.5mV2^{2}

where

  • speed at highest point = V2
  • speed at lowest point = V1
  • mass of the girl and swing = m
  • at the highest point, the  speed is minimum (V1 = 0)
  • at the lowest point the speed is maximum (V2 is the maximum speed)
  • therefore the equation becomes mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2

      m(gh1 + 0.5V1^{2}) = m(gh2)

      gh1 + 0.5V1^{2} = gh2

      V1 = \sqrt{\frac{gh2 - gh1}{0.5}}

now we can substitute all required values into the equation above.

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{(9.8x4.1) - (9.8x0.8)}{0.5}}

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{32.34}{0.5}}

V1 =8.1 m/s

A brick of mass 2 kg is dropped from a rest position 5 m above the ground. what is its velocity at a height of 3 m above the gro
Rina8888 [55]
We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

Using the ground as reference point, the mechanical energy of the brick when it is at 5 m from the ground is just potential energy (because the brick is initially at rest, so it doesn't have kinetic energy):
E= U = mgh=(2 kg)((9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=98.1 J

when the brick is at h'=3 m from the ground, its mechanical energy is now sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:
E= K+U= \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + mgh'

where v is the velocity of the brick. Since E is conserved, it must be equal to the initial energy (98.1 J), so we can solve this equation to find v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2(E-mgh')}{m} }=6.3 m/s

A 16-Ω loudspeaker, an 8.0-Ω loudspeaker, and a 4.0-Ω loudspeaker are connected in parallel across the terminals of an amplifier
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

2.286 ohm

Explanation:

R1 = 16 ohm

R2 = 8 ohm

R3 = 4 ohm

They all are connected in parallel combination

Let the equivalent resistance is R.

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

1/R = 1/16 + 1/8 + 1/4

1/R = (1 + 2 + 4) / 16

1/R = 7 / 16

R = 16/7 = 2.286 ohm
